Be it known that I, HENRY ROSE, a citizen of the United States, anda resident of Prairie du Sac, in the county of Sauk and State of Wisconsin, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Combined Wash-Stand and Dressing-Case; andI do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact descriptionof the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it apertains to make and use the sama-reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, and in which- Figure lis a perspective view of my improved combined wash-stand. and `dressingcase. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view taken on the line a: .r in Fig. l, and Fig. 3 is a perspective detail view.

The same letters refer to the same parts in all the gures.

This invention relates to an article of furniture comprising a combined wash-stand and dressing-case; and it has for its object to provide a device of this character which shall be convenient, ornamental in appearance, and inexpensive.

To this end myinvention consists in the improved construction and arrangement of parts, which will be hereinafter fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings, A designates the body of my improved dressing-case, in which drawers C are suitably arranged. The back of the said body A is provided with upwardly-extending standards D D, between Which a mirror, E, is hinged or pivoted in the usual, wellknown manner. One side4 of the body A is provided with lateral extensions F, which form the top and bottom of a case or compartment, G, provided at the front with a door, H. 'Ihe top of the side compartment, G, is provided with a casing, I, having a hinged door, J, the sides of which are provided with inwardlyextending flanges K K, between whichatowel rack or roller, L, may be arranged, if del sired, as shown in Fig. 2, and which is also provided at its lower end with an inwardlyextending shelf, M, upon which toilet articles-such as a soap-cup, tooth-brush holders, and the like-may beconveniently arranged. Shelves N N are also'arranged between the `sides of the compartmentG, upon which a `water-pitcher and other articles may be placed,

so as'to be conveniently reached. The topof the side compartment isformed `by a slab, O,

which. may be Vformed with a recess, P, constituting a wash-basimora plate or slab, Q', may be used, upon which a wash-basin of ordinary construction maybeplaced. When `the ytop slab is constructed with an integral casing, I'provide the waste-spout with a downwardlyzextending tube, Q, through which the waste watermay escape into a bucket, R,

placed underneath, as shown in the drawingsl The front side of the door of the compartment` As an article of furniture it is simple and convenient, and when properly constructed it will present a very ornamental and 'attractive appearance. l

Having thus described my invention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patentof the United Statesl. lIlhe combination,with the bureau andits wash-stand extension, ofthe upper casing, I,

having a hinged door, J, provided with the outwardly-projecting rounded cover It', and inwardly-projecting shelf M, and having the inclined slab S, as shown and set` forth.. l

2. The combination of the casing I, having fixed shelves N N, and hinged door J, having the fixed horizontal bottonrpart or shelf, M, outside projecting cover, R', and inclined board or slab S, so arranged thatA shelf M forms a top for the wash-stand, on which cas` ing I is placed, when the door` is closed," sub stantially as and for the purpose set forth. L

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereunto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
